A cheetah-print fuzzy material wraps around the Samba's classic upper, delivering the most direct visual impact of this Brain Dead x adidas collaboration. The "Bowling" in the shoe's name points to its design reference: cream stripes paired with black patent leather details, with the overall colorway set in Tan/Black/Cream — like wearing the retro vibe of a bowling alley straight on your feet.
This Brain Dead x adidas Samba Bowling "Cheetah" carries the style code KH8143 and is set to release on October 8, 2026, retailing for $250. It will be available via the adidas Confirmed app, the brand's official site WeAreBrainDead.com, and select retailers.
The same collection also includes a "Snakeskin" colorway, also set to drop on October 8 for $250. Together, the two pairs offer starkly different material choices on the same day — one in cheetah-print fuzz, the other in snakeskin treatment — pulling two completely distinct surface languages out of the same Samba Bowling silhouette.
